Hookshot Inc. is a website about downloadable video games that cost $15 or less.
We patrol a wild and hectic new frontier in video games, taking aim at the titles that deserve attention – and pulling them directly into the lives of busy players.

Last week I did a talk at the Launch Conference in Birmingham about how developers should deal with the gaming press. As part of my 'preparations' I asked a bunch of my peers what they thought. Here's what they told me...

So what's the best day of the year? Christmas Day? Halloween? August 11, feast day of Clare of Assisi, the patron saint of television? No, it's November 7th, because that's when ToeJam & Earl hits PSN and XBLA. Okay, that's only the best day of this year. Normally it's Halloween.

I’ve been promising developers Laughing Jackal that I’d take their Hungry Giraffe for a spin ever since the dawn of Hookshot Inc. “Play our game!” they said, “S’got a giraffe in it!”. I was like all: “Giraffe! Awesome!”, yet never fed that poor, starving even-toed ungulate mammal.

It’s with relief then, that as it launches on Playstation Mobile continues to sit upon the PlayStation Network as a Mini, to discover that it’s all rather fun.

This isn't a review, because there frankly aren't enough stars in the world. Think of it as a heads-up, instead: Arkedo Studio's latest game hits the download services tomorrow, and it's their best yet.

As we fall ever deeper in love with Crispy's animal warfare sim on PSN, Parkin takes a closer look at its peculiar rhythm of play and the way in which it updates a classic design for a contemporary audience.
